Non-Classroom Credits

ADP students may enroll for up to 30 academic credits for independent study activities, such as research projects, reading tutorials, and fieldwork during their college career. Students receiving life-experience credits, however, have the total number of non-classroom credits available to them reduced by the number of credits received for life experience. The precise content or structure of the independent study project must be approved by the student's faculty sponsor and the sponsor's Department Chair. Written approval of his or her independent study proposal must be submitted to the ADP Office prior to registration.
